Karamanti

The most lyrical female in Reggae/Dancehall

Though the Reggae/Dancehall industry is dominated by men, Karamanti stands as a strong black woman, (in her home town of Kingston, Jamaica) raining showers of conscious lyrics to a generation far from reality. 

Karamanti has had an interest in music most of her life but only began to really apply herself over the past couple of years. Being inspired musically by artist such as Lauryn Hill, she made the decision that her songs must always be real and chose not to be like so many other women in the Dancehall whose lyrical content seems limited to men, sex and self. This along with her ability to write coherent stories in her tunes makes her a unique recording artist and everyone who hears her music notices.

Having recently hired a street and online promo team, Karamanti is currently putting a road map in place to ensure that her music is heard by as many persons as possible. She has spent the last few months recording on rhythm driven projects (for various record labels) that include artists such as Bugle, Chino, Sizzla, Turbulence and others. Additionally, she has done some recording for international producers on opposite sides of the musical scale; For Strike Dee who is based in Ghana, Africa, Karamanti penned the African song, which was released a short while ago in that country and is doing quite well. And for Pharfar who is based in Denmark, she recorded Balkan dance, a catchy pop song for the clubs that is also doing good. Though she is regarded as a reality artist, Karamanti has no problems stepping outside the box from time to time which is what she did when she voiced di antidote, a hip-hop single for C-Sol out of Canada. Another piece of the road map that was recently updated is Karamantis official online blog which has all the relevant information about the artist and her career; www.karamanti.blogspot.com. Karamanti and her team have committed to putting together a full length album by the end of the year and as such, they are working very hard to spread the music of the lady many regard as the most underrated female lyricist in Jamaica.
